Through my 20 years of work as an educator, non-profit leader, poet, entrepreneur, documentary filmmaker, author, and yogi, I have been obsessed with how we can create a world free of hatred, violence, and war.
With this podcast, I continue that journey as I sit with some of the most inspiring change makers in the world and learn how they are alleviating human suffering and healing the planet. We’ll come to know that another world is not only possible, but that it is already here.
Together we’ll dance between the nuances of mysticism, science, spirituality, social justice, healing, arts, philosophy, ancient wisdom, and futurism. We’ll laugh. We’ll cry. We'll learn. We’ll bravely explore how to create a more just, peaceful, and joyful world... together.

E35 – Decolonizing Wealth, Philanthropy, and Liberated Capital with Edgar Villanueva
What if money, so often a source of harm, could become medicine for our collective healing?
In this episode of The Everlutionary Podcast, host Hawah Kasat sits with Edgar Villanueva—Lumbee tribe member, award-winning author of Decolonizing Wealth, and Founder of the Decolonizing Wealth Project—to explore how philanthropy can move from colonial extraction to reparative giving.
Edgar shares how confronting the origins of wealth, telling the truth about harm, and embracing cultural healing can transform both communities and donors. From the $1.8 trillion trapped in philanthropic endowments to his bold $1 trillion “moonshot” for reparative justice, he reveals what it takes to liberate capital in service of racial equity. Along the way, he weaves stories of his own spiritual journey, the resilience of Indigenous traditions, and the urgent work of healing systems from within.
For over two decades, Edgar has advised global philanthropies, Fortune 500 companies, and grassroots movements, influencing more than $1 billion toward repair. His latest initiative, a $20 million youth mental health fund, centers culturally responsive care for young people of color and LGBTQ+ youth.
This episode is a call to reimagine wealth, not as something to hoard, but as a living force that can restore dignity, repair relationships, and move us toward collective liberation.
